EasyClean

The EasyClean feature takes advantage of LG’s new enamel to help lift soils without harsh chemicals, and it runs using ONLY WATER for just 10 minutes in low temperatures to help loosen LIGHT soils before hand cleaning.

Your LG oven gives you the option of cleaning with LESS HEAT, LESS TIME, and virtually NO SMOKE OR FUMES. You can reduce energy use by cleaning light oven soils with the EasyClean feature instead of Pyrolysis.

EasyClean Instruction Guide

Caution

  • The oven should be level to ensure that the bottom surface of the oven cavity is entirely covered by water at the beginning of the EasyClean cycle.

  • Do not open the oven door during the EasyClean cycle. Water will not get hot enough if the door is opened during the cycle.

  • Remove the baking tray, deep baking tray, wire grill, all cookware, aluminum foil, or any other material from the oven.

Note

  • Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the EasyClean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 65 ℃, the EasyClean cycle will not be activated until the oven cavity cools down.

  • For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.

  • Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more difficult to remove with the EasyClean cycle.

  • If cleaning multiple baking trays, use an entire bottle of water to clean each baking tray. Do not spray water directly on the door. Doing so will result in water dripping to the floor.

  • It is normal for the fan to operate during the EasyClean cycle.

  • Using commercial oven cleaners or bleach to clean the oven is not recommended. Instead, use a mild liquid cleanser with a pH value below 12.7 to avoid discoloring the enamel.

  1. Remove oven racks and accessories from the oven.

  2. Scrape off and remove any burnt-on debris with a plastic scraper.

    • Suggested plastic scrapers:

      • Hard plastic spatula

      • Plastic pan scraper

      • Plastic paint scraper

      • Old credit card

  3. Fill a spray bottle with 500 ml of water and use the spray bottle to thoroughly spray the inside surfaces of the oven.

  4. Use at least 50 ml of the water in the bottle to completely saturate the soil on both the walls and in the corners of the oven.

  5. Spray or pour 450 ml of water onto the bottom center of the oven cavity. The indentation on the oven bottom should be fully covered to submerge all soils. Add water if necessary.

  6. Turn and push the control knob to select EasyClean.

    • Icons appear when EasyClean is ready to use.

  7. Press Start or push the control knob. The remaining time appears in the display.

    Caution

    • Some surfaces may be hot after the EasyClean cycle. Wear rubber gloves while cleaning to prevent burns.

    • During the EasyClean cycle, the oven becomes hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the cycle is over before wiping the inside surface of the oven. Failure to do so may result in burns.

    • Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the oven cavity.

    • Do not use any steel scouring pads, abrasive pads or cleaners as these materials can permanently damage the oven surface.

  8. A tone will sound at the end of the 10 minutes cycle and ENd appears in the display.

  9. After the cleaning cycle and during hand-cleaning, enough water should remain on the oven bottom to completely submerge all soils. Add water if necessary. Place a towel on the floor in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill out during hand-cleaning.

  10. Clean the oven cavity immediately after the EasyClean cycle by scrubbing with a wet, non-scratch scouring sponge or pad. (The scouring side will not scratch the finish.) Some water may spill into the bottom vents while cleaning, but it will be captured in a pan under the oven cavity and will not hurt the burner.

  11. Once the oven cavity is cleaned, wipe any excess water with a clean dry towel. Replace racks and any other accessories.

  12. If some light soils remain, repeat the above steps, making sure to thoroughly soak the soiled areas.

    • If stubborn soils remain after multiple EasyClean cycles, run the Pyrolysis cycle. Be sure that the oven cavity is empty of oven racks and other accessories, and that the oven cavity surface is dry before running the Pyrolysis cycle. Consult the Pyrolysis section of your owner’s manual for further details.

Note

  • The cavity gasket may be wet when the EasyClean cycle finishes. This is normal. Do not clean the gasket.

  • If mineral deposits remain on the oven bottom after cleaning, use a cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar to remove them.
